JOHN T. PATTON, J.:
     The Cleveland Municipal Court awarded plaintiff HKS Realty Co.
attorney fees  in the amount  of $3,735 as  a Civ.R. 11  sanction
against Michael Troy Watson, the attorney who represented defendant
Willie B. Williams. A magistrate found Watson engaged in frivolous
conduct by filing a motion that had no  good ground for support  in
the latest of multiple attempts to either vacate a default judgment
or execute a  satisfaction of that  default judgment.   Defendant
appeals, claiming  the court  abused its  discretion by  entering
sanctions against Watson and by continuing to deny the validity of
Watson's attempts to have the default judgment satisfied.
     We dismiss the appeal  because defendant Willie B.  Williams
lacks standing to bring this appeal on behalf of Watson. In Parks
v. Baltimore  & Ohio  R.R. (1991), 77  Ohio App.3d  426, 429,  we
stated,   [a] party  lacks standing to  appeal the imposition  of
sanctions pursuant to Civ.R. 11 upon his attorney.   The notice of
appeal in this case  is filed in the  name of  defendant,  Willie
Williams not Watson.  Hence, we dismiss the action according to
Parks.   See also Evans  v. Bossin (1995),  107 Ohio App.3d  544;
Geraci v.  Anderson (Sept. 24,  1998), Cuyahoga  App. No.  72978,
unreported.
     Appeal dismissed.
                               -3-
     It  is ordered that appellee recover of appellant its  costs
herein taxed.
     The  Court  finds there  were  reasonable grounds  for  this
appeal.
     It is ordered that a special mandate issue out of this court
dire cting the Cleveland Municipal  Court to carry this  judgment
into execution.
     A certified copy of  this entry shall constitute the mandate
pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
